Barbara Walters falls, cuts forehead

Barbara Walters fell on a stair on Saturday night while visiting the British ambassador’s residence and cut her forehead, ABC News said Sunday in a statement in response to an inquiry from POLITICO.

“Out of an abundance of caution, she went to the hospital to have her cut tended to, have a full examination and remains there for observation. Barbara is alert — and telling everyone what to do — which we all take as a very positive sign,” said Jeffrey Schneider, senior vice president of ABC News.
